In order to minimize Fuel, Time and Distances the Aircraft will tend to fly between
Waypoints, on the Earth Surface, on the Great Circle connecting the Initial and Final
Waypoints, since is the Shortest Distance between two points on a Sphere.
During Flight the Aircraft will deviate from the desired flight path (see Figure).
Those deviation must be measured and corrected by Steering the Aircraft.
The Task of Steering the Aircraft can be performed Manually by the Pilot or by an
Automatic Flight-Control System (AFCS).

The Moon’s gravity tends to tilt the Earth’s axis so that it becomes perpendicular to Moon’s

This effect is called precession and is produced by the interaction between Earth and Moon.

Five independent quantities, called orbital elements,
describe size, shape and orientation of an orbit.
A sixth element is required to determine the position of the satellite along the orbit at a
given time.
1. a – semi-major axis – a constant defining the size of the coning orbit.
2. e – eccentricity – a constant defining the shape of the coning orbit.
3. i – inclination – the angle between ZG and the specific angular momentum
of the coning orbit . vrh

4. Ω – longitude of the ascending node – the angle, in the Equatorial Plane, between
the unit vector and the point where the satellite crosses through the Equatorial
Plane in a northerly direction (ascending node) measured counterclockwise
where viewed from the northern emisphere.
5. ω – argument of the periapsis – the angle, in the plane of the satellite’s orbit,
between ascending node and the periapsis point, measured in the direction of
satellite’s motion.
6. T – time of periapsis passage – the time when the satellite was at the periapsis.

An Inertial Measurement Unit uses Inertial Sensors (at least three Rate

three orthogonal directions.
- The Acceleration Sensors (Accelerometers( measure the Acceleration, relative
to Inertia, along the same three orthogonal directions.

Differential GPS Systems (DGPS)
Differential GPS Systems (DGPS) techniques are based on installing one
or more Reference Receivers at known locations and the measured and
known ranges to the Satellites are broadcast to the other GPS Users in
the vicinity. This removes much of the Ranging Errors caused by
atmospheric conditions (locally) and Satellite Orbits and Clock Errors
(globally).

A visual example of the GPS constellation in
motion with the Earth rotating. Notice how the
number of satellites in view from a given point
on the Earth's surface, in this example at 45°N,
changes with time
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is a space-
based satellite navigation system that provides
location and time information in all weather,
anywhere on or near the Earth, where there is an
unobstructed line of sight to four or more GPS
satellites. It is maintained by the United States
government and is freely accessible to anyone with
a GPS receiver.
Ground monitor station used from
1984 to 2007, on display at the Air
Force Space & Missile Museum
A GPS receiver calculates its position by precisely
timing the signals sent by GPS satellites high above
the Earth. Each satellite continually transmits
messages that include:
• the time the message was transmitted
• satellite position at time of message transmission

by 2014 (and fully deployed by 2019)
• BEIDOU – People's Republic of China's

• COMPASS – People's Republic of China's

(ascending node) measured counterclockwise where viewed from the northern hemisphere.
5. ω, argument of periapsis – the angle, in the plane of satellite’s orbit, between ascending node and the
periapsis point, measured in the direction of the satellite’s motion.
6. T, time of periapsis passage – the time when the satellite was at the periapsis.

The period of an elliptical orbit T is obtained by integrating from Θ= 0 to Θ=2π ,
and the radius vector sweeps the area of the ellipse A = π a b.
This proves the Kepler’s third law: “the square of the period of a planet orbit is equal
To the cube of its mean distance to the sun”.

Thekey to the system accuracy is the fact that all signal components are
controlled by Atomic Clocks.
• Block II Satellites have four on-board clocks: two rubidium and two cesium
clocks. The long term frequency stability of these clocks reaches a few part in
10-13
and 10-14
over one day.
• Block III will use hydrogen masers with stability of 10-14
to 10-15
over one day.
The Fundamental L-Band Frequency of 10.23 MHz is produced from those Clocks.
Coherently derived from the Fundamental Frequency are three signals
(with in-phase (cos), and quadrature-phase (sin) components):
- L1 = 154 x 10.23 MHz = 1575.42 MHz
- L2 = 120 x 10.23 MHz = 1227.60 MHz
- L3 = 115 x 10.23 MHz = 1176.45 MHz
The in-phase components of L1 signal, is bi-phase modulated by a 50-bps data
stream and a pseudorandom code called C/A-code (Coarse Civilian) consisting of a
1023-chip sequence, that has a period of 1 ms and a chipping rate of 1.023 MHz:

A LORAN receiver measures the
Time Difference of arrival between
pulses from pairs of stations. This
time difference measurement places
the Receiver somewhere along a
Hyperbolic Line of Position (LOP).
The intersection of two or more
Hyperbolic LOPs, provided by two or
more Time Difference measurement,
defines the Receiver’s Position.
Accuracies of 150 to 300 m are
typical.

VHF Omni Directional Radio-Range (VOR) System
The VHF Omni Directional Radio-Range (VOR) System is comp[rised of a serie of
Ground-Based Beacons operating in the VHF Band (108 to 118 MHz).
A VOR Station transmits a reference carrier
Frequency Modulated (FM) with:
30 Hz signal from the main antenna.
An Amplitude Modulated (AM) carrier
electrically swept around several smaller
Antennas surrounding the main
Antenna. This rotating pattern
creates a 30 Hz Doppler effect on
the Receiver. The Phase Difference
of the two 30 Hz signals gives the
User’s Azimuth with respect to the North

accuracy of a VOR System is typically on the

The DME Component of TACAN operates with the

The accuracy of the azimuth component is

Clairaut's theorem
Clairaut's theorem, published in 1743 by Alexis Claude Clairaut in
his Théorie de la figure de la terre, tirée des principes de
l'hydrostatique,[1]
synthesized physical and geodetic evidence that
the Earth is an oblate rotational ellipsoid. It is a general
mathematical law applying to spheroids of revolution. It was
initially used to relate the gravity at any point on the Earth's
surface to the position of that point, allowing the ellipticity of the
Earth to be calculated from measurements of gravity at different
latitudes.
Clairaut's formula for the acceleration due to gravity g on the surface of a spheroid
at latitude φ, was:
where G is the value of the acceleration of gravity at the equator, m the ratio of
the centrifugal force to gravity at the equator, and f the flattening of a meridian
section of the earth, defined as:

Reference Earth Model
The coordinate origin of WGS 84 is meant to be located at the
Earth's center of mass; the error is believed to be less than 2 cm.
The WGS 84 meridian of zero longitude is the IERS Reference
Meridian. 5.31 arc seconds or 102.5 meters (336.3 ft) east of the
Greenwich meridian at the latitude of the Royal Observatory.
The WGS 84 datum surface is an oblate spheroid (ellipsoid) with major
(transverse) radius a = 6378137 m at the equator and flattening
f = 1/298.257223563.The polar semi-minor (conjugate) radius b then equals a
times (1−f), or b = 6356752.3142 m.
Presently WGS 84 uses the EGM96 (Earth Gravitational Model 1996) Geoid,
revised in 2004. This Geoid defines the nominal sea level surface by means of a
spherical harmonics series of degree 360 (which provides about 100 km
horizontal resolution).[7]
The deviations of the EGM96 Geoid from the WGS 84
Reference Ellipsoid range from about −105 m to about +85 m.[8]
EGM96 differs
from the original WGS 84 Geoid, referred to as EGM84.

Geodetic latitude: the angle between the
normal and the equatorial plane. The
standard notation in English publications is ϕ
Geocentric latitude: the equatorial plane and
the radius from the centre to a point on the
surface. The relation between the geocentric
latitude (ψ) and the geodetic latitude ( ) isϕ
